Battling The Devil Dog

You never feel more alone than when you are battling the Devil Dog.

Afflicted by more than twenty years of mental health issues, Patricia also contends with limitations through various physical and mobility problems.

In this year-long personal diary, Patricia shares her highs and lows, loves and losses, laying herself bare. Both mother and wife, Patricia exposes just how much mental health and physical illnesses impact on the sufferer and their extended family.

Battling the Devil Dog highlights how in the darkest times, when experiencing tormenting emotions and disturbing thoughts, a person is never as alone as they feel.

This diary was undertaken with great consideration in the hope that its transparency will offer support and understanding to others who may be going through similar, or worse. It's about time that the stigma surrounding mental health and disabilities is crushed. Mental health is nothing to be ashamed of.
